We come from different traditions in the labour movement but we are united in believing Hilary Benn should be the next deputy leader of the Labour party. What makes Hilary stand out is his ability to unite the party; to work with everyone; and to win people's trust. Party members and the public want to be listened to as we take the big decisions about our future. The best way to do this is to champion a straightforward politics. That's exactly what Hilary Benn will bring to the job.
